Either you are searching a non-indexed area or your drive is corrupted
and|or failing

No indication of a bad HDD.
Even if non-indexed areas, File Explorer should NOT keep me from other
areas.

File Explorer is POORLY written !!!! JUNK !
M$ should be ashamed of itself.

Other Explorer apps have zero trouble getting me to the file system.

What bugs me is the refusal of MS to supply patches to fix a corrupt
indexer. They just don't care about the poor struggling worker!

There is nothing wrong with indexer so there is no need to waste time
trying to fix something that is already working well for most
intelligent people. You just need to bounce your machine several times
by banging it on a very hard concrete wall to see if it smashes. this
will fix all your problems (and problems of your fellow Winsows10hater).

How many disk drives are on the computer ?

Are any of the drives imported from an old computer ?

Where are you looking when you get the
green throbber in File Explorer ? What
directory or folder are you visiting ?

You can boot an installer DVD, and enter the Command Prompt
from there, and do CHKDSK on the partitions. What I would
recommend, is adding a text file (if you can) to the top
level of a partition. For example, my Win10 partition
would have C:\IMWIN10.txt . Then, when I'm in the command
prompt, and I try " dir someletter ", it allows me
to verify I actually am using the correct letter for
the job. Then I can do "chkdsk someletter /f" or whatever.

When you boot to the Command Prompt, from the installer
DVD for Win10, the DVD is X:\, so your actual C:
drive could be something else. It might be C: , or, it might not.
There is no requirement for a Command Prompt, to use
the same letters as the regular OS does. Only a few
applications go to the trouble of "sniffing" the mountvol
registry keys, to get the letters right.

No sit tight and light-up a cigar while watching your recent creation.
Things can only get better now that you are starting from scratch. Ask
your mate W10Hater to join you in your celebration.

Laptop.
One drive.

I get green when I first open File Explorer.

I m now exploring other explorers.
Got to be one that is free and easy.
Sort of the flower child of explorers.

So far a few Explorers, that is, I have tried opened and displayed all
immediately.
M$ sure knows how to screw things up!

Will try ChkDsk again in a bit.

If there is a permissions problem, it will haunt
every File Explorer replacement you try.

The problem is that W10Hater is clueless. I doubt that you can help
him.
